Inequalities in end-of-life care for colorectal cancer patients in Nova Scotia, Canada.

This study demonstrates that although access to, and quality of, EOL care appears to have improved, there remain significant inequalities throughout the population. Of primary concern is the variation in access to, and quality of, EOL care based on geographic location of residence and patient age. PMID: 22860381 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
